In acommentary to Glavnoe he said: "Of course, when the claim is madethat Tymoshenko will get a life sentence it is not productive.Nobody in Europe will understand that the investigation had dug upa corpse and it suddenly spoke. If they did not bring the case tothe end then, it is not worth pulling by the ears now."

He noted that hi is sympathetic with PresidentViktor Yanukovych and many of his steps. "But I will just be out ofarguments, if Ukraine continues to take steps like that," saidMirskiy.
